Programme Note

Spectres d’ombre treats breath as a fluctuating, dynamic and percussive material. Microtonal strings, resonance and choreographic writing create a mobile field of timbral shadows.

Scored for violin, cello and piano, the work brings timbre, vibration and piano trio into a concentrated musical relationship. The premiere context is documented as Festival Les Rencontres Inouïes, Paris, France.
